Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Happy Home Paradise[nb 1] is a paid downloadable content expansion for Animal Crossing: New Horizons that was released on November 5, 2021. It is a spiritual successor to Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer, in which the player can design homes and gardens for villagers and special characters to satisfy the client's specifications.

In Happy Home Paradise, the player can travel to an archipelago to work for Paradise Planning, a resort that specializes in the design of custom-built vacation homes within the archipelago's varied environments.

Release

Happy Home Paradise was announced alongside the 2.0 Free Update in an Animal Crossing: New Horizons Direct on October 15, 2021.[2] The contents of Happy Home Paradise are contained within the 2.0 update, and Happy Home Paradise items are available through trading to players without the paid DLC, but access to the Paradise Planning archipelago is only unlocked once the DLC is purchased. While the free update was released at 10 AM JST (1 AM UTC) on November 4, 2021, 24 hours ahead of its scheduled release date, the Happy Home Paradise expansion was not unlocked until 12 AM local time on November 5, 2021.

The DLC is available for purchase from the Nintendo eShop for US$24.99[nb 2] or as a part of the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack service for US$49.99[nb 2] per year. People who use Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack for Happy Home Paradise will lose access to the archipelago if they lose membership in the Expansion Pack, but will still retain many of the tools obtained through Happy Home Paradise for usage at their home island.[3] Pre-orders became available on October 29, 2021.

A download card for Happy Home Paradise will be available in Japan,[4] and a Nintendo Switch game case containing a download code will be available in South Korea.[5]

Gameplay

Paradise Planning

A player about to choose the "I want to work" option

When the DLC is downloaded, if Resident Services has been upgraded to a building, the player receives a phone call from Tom Nook asking them to visit him and a visitor at the airport. At the airport, Nook introduces the player to Lottie and asks them if they would like to help her design homes. After the player agrees, the option "I want to go to work" becomes available when speaking to Orville. Choosing this option takes the player to a resort archipelago where characters go to find vacation homes. The player works for Paradise Planning, a resort developer, alongside Lottie and new characters Niko and Wardell.

When the DLC is downloaded, the player also receives a package from Nintendo containing a Paradise Planning Photo.

Designing homes

The player designing the interior of a villager's home

The player's job at Paradise Planning is to design vacation homes for villagers and special characters. These characters appear on the archipelago's central island, which also hosts Paradise Planning's office. Once the player chooses to design a home for a character, they are given the option to choose which island to build the home on; each island has different features, and some have different seasons. Once the island is chosen, the player places three furniture items chosen by the character, and from there the interior and exterior of the home can be decorated freely.

As the player designs more homes, more furniture becomes available to use. Homes the player has designed can be remodeled. The player can also suggest existing clients that have a completed home to include roommates. The roommates that the player chooses to add will merge their furniture from their housing order with that of the existing villager's catalog.

After the player designs a home, Lottie rewards them with Poki, a currency that can be used at the Paradise Planning shop.

Customization features
The player using Soundscapes to change up the ambient sound of the room.

The following customization features are new to Happy Home Paradise:

  • Partition walls, which share the same texture as the wallpaper set. They are unlocked after completing eight housing requests.
  • Counters (both full-height and half-height)
  • Pillars
  • Lighting customization, where the color and brightness settings can be adjusted. This feature is unlocked while customizing the Café facility.
  • Soundscapes, constant ambient sounds played in a room. This feature is unlocked after completing 17 housing requests and sitting next to Wardell afterwards.
  • Polishing, which gives furniture a animated effect of several different choices. Polishing is unlocked after completing four housing requests.
Happy Home Network
The menu of the Happy Home Network app.

A Happy Home Network app can be accessed on the player's NookPhone, where the player can view and visit the homes they have designed. Designs can be shared over the internet, and players can follow other designers.

Paradise Planning office

The player in the Paradise Planning office with Niko, Wardell, and Lottie.

Paradise Planning has an office on the central island where Lottie, Wardell, and Niko work.

amiibo

Amiibo cards and figures can be scanned at the Paradise Planning office front desk to invite the respective character to have their vacation home designed. This is unlocked after completing seven housing requests.

Shop

A shop area in the Paradise Planning office sells five exclusive furniture items. Items are paid for with Poki instead of Bells.

Facilities

Sherb offering a glass of water to the player.

Facilities, such as a school, hospital, and restaurant, can be designed in the vacant buildings on the main island. Once the facility is set up, the player can staff any villagers present on the main islands to host the facility. Once this is established, various villagers from across the islands will come by to use the facility. If the player speaks to the host of the Café or Restaurant facility, they are able to purchase food items using Poki.
